Ran from Paint Bank to second Rt. 18 bridge on 5-10-09 at a level just under 5 feet. We found that where the creek splits, if you go far right, almost like making a u-turn away from most of the flow, the main strainer section is avoidable. We were able to get under the wires on far river left, but anything 5 feet or over would likely require a portage. Just after the first bridge there is a tree across the creek, and at this level we were able to slide over it. At lower water this may also require a portage. Just after the tree, another nice drop and then the rapids mellow out a bit, but still fun, until the second bridge where we took out.
